print qq(Using qq() works remarkably well and preserves newlines,
tabs, etc. Here docs are... legacy, in my mind and are less friendly to
editors (such as emacs). See if moving to qq() solves your problems, if
not, then ... I dunno.);
This is more along the lines of a PS than anything else, but it
works for all interpolated envs in perl. Ex:
print qq(the result of 1 + 1 = @{[1 + 1]}\n);
Inline code evaluation w/in a string... combine this w/ the
ternery operator ((EXPR) ? (TRUE) : (FALSE)) and you've got a pretty
inline scripting tool that's not emb perl. The only gotcha is that you
can't have multiple statements (ex: @{[ EXPR; EXPR2; EXPR3 ]}). That
should turn up an error. Anyway, fyi.
